This is a very sad and unfortunate story. The crime is horrendous. My heart goes to the family of the victim. I agree that the perpetrators should be punishment severely. However I feel for the victim’s family especially when they have to see pictures of their loved ones displayed on the media like this. Imagine the victims child(ren) and parents having to view these images. I think our media need to be sensitive to such issues. There is no need to publish the images of the victim’s naked, mutilated body

Why not just execute these? I found human rights disgusting in this among others. This is inhumane and uncalled for.
